brett24 Posted 8 August, 2015 Share Posted 8 August, 2015 Would take a draw, but worry about our midfield defensively. Think we could easily lose tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericofarabia Posted 9 August, 2015 Share Posted 9 August, 2015 (edited) With Williamson and Taylor in defence either The lego version or even The MLT of today would fancy his chance of a goal or 2 http://www.theguardian.com/football/video/2015/jan/29/matt-le-tissier-top-three-goals-brick-by-brick-video Just got to fancy Sadio to tear them a new one today.

PhilippineSaint Posted 9 August, 2015 Share Posted 9 August, 2015 Don't do it. You'll top yourself when the 8th goes in. A few years back home to Swindon. A mate had a decent bet on 4-0 to Saints. Probably the most gutted person in the ground when it went 5-0. Ended 5-1 but by then their late pen didn't matter.... He will top you when it is 0-7 too Saints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Tony Posted 9 August, 2015 Share Posted 9 August, 2015 Difficult one to call, think I'll sit on the fence and go for a 1-1 draw. Had a decent bet on Newcastle at 2/1, big price considering they are at home. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
positivepete Posted 9 August, 2015 Share Posted 9 August, 2015 They'll be fired up but I think this is a winnable game. Don't know anything about their new signings, but Mane will cut through their defence quite easily imo. My main worry is who will start alongside Fonte, don't think Caulker is good enough. They have made some good signings. The guy from PSV is a very good attacking midfielder, and they are planning to play the excellent Sissoko further upfield, so it is likely to be a tough day for our defence and midfield. Newcastle are however pretty weak at the back, so it could be a high scoring game. I really have no idea how this will go, but I am hoping that our two competitive games will give us the edge in preparation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted 9 August, 2015 Share Posted 9 August, 2015 I'd be unhappy with a draw. Saints are the better team and although that's no guarantee of the result, I think they are better prepared than Newcastle and will have more confidence. Our strike power looks good so its really a question of whether the defence can hold out. Ryan Bertrand being out is a loss but if Matt Targett plays we should be OK on the left. Yoshi will probably be ahead of Caulker for the second CB place but I don't agree that Caulker isn't quality, after all, he was good enough to get an England cap and is more experienced now than he was then, and is still only 23.

CanadaSaint Posted 9 August, 2015 Share Posted 9 August, 2015 I like the line-up - for this game, at least. What else should we do but target their weakness full-on if we have the players to do it? It needn't make us that vulnerable because I would imagine that the full backs, especially Targett, will have more of a "stay at home" brief.
